Chapter 988: Abuse of power for personal gain

Zhou Changan frowned and looked at Lin Wan, and asked suspiciously: "Why did the queen mother deliberately frame the jade concubine, and what did the queen and Lu Manting have with the jade concubine?"

Lin Wan bit her lower lip, thought for a while, and said, "Father, the Empress Dowager may be for the position of the prefect of Fujian, and the Empress Mother may be jealous of Aunt Yu for a long time because of your love for Aunt Yu; as for Lu Manting, maybe it's because of me." There is also the possibility that all this was planned by the conspiracy of the South Vietnamese state. The purpose is to drive a wedge between the Great Feudal State and the Dongli Kingdom, start to create chaos from the harem, frame loyal ministers and good generals, and make the officials and people of the Great Feudal State everyone in danger and the people are panicked. ”

Zhou Changan glanced at Lin Wan with some dissatisfaction, shook his head, and said, "Wan'er, these are all your guesses, and you have no evidence." I can't trust you in one side, and I can't doubt my queen mother and queen for the sake of one of your guesses. ”

Lin Wan sighed helplessly, and said in frustration: "Father, Wan'er also knows that she has no evidence, and she has never thought of letting her father help and favor the Wang family. Wan'er just wants her father to know that if an official reports or impeaches the Wang family recently, please think twice. ”

Zhou Changan was stunned, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Did Wan'er hear something?"

Lin Wan was shocked when she heard this, shook her head in a daze, and said, "Wan'er didn't hear anything, Wan'er just secretly guessed in her heart. Father, is there really a lawsuit against the Wang family?"

Zhou Changan nodded a little hesitantly, and said thoughtfully: "A few days ago, I have received several report letters, in which I reported that during Wang Ronggang's tenure as the prefect of Fujian, he spent extravagantly, neglected his duties, filled his own pockets, and abused his power for personal gain. Moreover, there is conclusive evidence for every crime, and even the witnesses have their names and surnames. I have already sent the minister to Fujian to investigate, and there should be news back before the end of the month. ”

Lin Wan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Father, if you want to add to the crime, why bother? Although Wan'er doesn't know how the report letter is written, maybe everything said in the letter is true. However, Lord Wang has been in Fujian for so many years, and has managed the city of Fujian in an orderly manner, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy is prosperous. How many people are staring at him, the position of the prefect of Fujian, and they have long wanted to see the opportunity to pull him off the horse. ”

Zhou Changan was silent, thinking secretly in his heart, if Wang Ronggang was really dismissed and investigated, then who was most likely to take this place?

Lin Wan saw that Zhou Changan was deep in thought, knowing that his words had an effect, and stood quietly and didn't say more.

After a long time, Zhou Changan raised his head and saw Lin Wan standing there in a daze, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he had lost his mind.

Zhou Changan asked with some curiosity, "Wan'er, what are you thinking?"

Lin Wan was startled, raised her eyes, hesitated, opened her mouth, but did not speak. His eyes flickered a little, as if he was struggling with whether to say it or not.

Zhou Changan shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "You girl, is there anything else you dare not say? You only guess, you dare to tell the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." I'm a little curious, is there anything else that scares you?"

Lin Wan sighed heavily, ruthlessly, frowned and asked: "Father, Fujian City is across the river from Nanyue Kingdom, and Xiling Kingdom is only separated by a Fuling Mountain, Nanyue Kingdom has long wanted to attack the idea of Fujian City, but Fujian City is impregnable, and there are garrisons of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess there, so I have not dared to act rashly." Wan'er had a whim, this time, could it be Lan Ziheng who wants to use the brains of Fujian City?"

Zhou Changan was stunned, and said in his heart, Lin Wan was indeed a whim, but it was not impossible. If it is really as Lin Wan said, Lan Ziheng wants to take advantage of Fujian and cross Fuling Mountain to attack Xiling Kingdom, then Xiling Kingdom is really suffering from the enemy. Coupled with Ximen Hucheng's internal and external cooperation, even if Ximen Longao resisted stubbornly guarding the palace, the final result could only be trapped and died in the palace.

Furthermore, if Nanyue and Ximen Hucheng took the imperial power of Xiling Kingdom, the two countries formed an alliance and marched from Fujian to attack the Great Feudal State. If there is enough grain and grass, it is expected that it will only take less than three months to attack the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changan only felt shuddered, suddenly had a headache, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Lin Wan, and was speechless for a long time.

Lin Wan didn't say anything more, and lowered his head, as if he felt that he had said something that he shouldn't have said.

The Qinzheng Hall fell into silence again, and Lin Wan began to panic a little when Zhou Changan saw it, and even breathed carefully. She didn't know if she was right, and she didn't know what Zhou Changan would think. Maybe Zhou Changan will suspect that she has another purpose, maybe Zhou Changan will think that she is dedicated to Xiling Kingdom, maybe Zhou Changan will also be jealous of her, maybe she will bring death to herself.

Zhou Changan looked at Lin Wan for a long time, then turned his head to look at Jin Haoran, and said lightly: "Nephew Jin Xian, you go outside the hall first and wait for a while, I have something to ask Wan'er alone." ”

Jin Haoran was stunned, looked at Lin Wan, and saw her nodding, so he respectfully bid farewell to Zhou Chang'an, turned around and walked out of the inner hall.

There were only two people left in the hall, Zhou Changan and Lin Wan, and the surroundings were even quieter, and even the air made Lin Wan feel nervous.

Just when Lin Wan felt about to suffocate, Zhou Changan finally spoke, he stared at Lin Wan's eyes, and asked word by word, "Who are you?"

Lin Wan was shocked, looked at Zhou Changan in horror, and called in a trembling voice: "Father, father, emperor......"

Zhou Changan's sharp gaze kept staring at Lin Wan's face, and he didn't relax at all, and continued to ask, "You, who is it?"

Lin Wan's eyes widened, she didn't know how to answer, and she kept silently thinking in her heart, calm, calm, calm......

Zhou Changan didn't give her any chance to think, and asked in a deep voice again: "Say, who are you?"

Lin Wan forced herself to look at Zhou Changan's eyes, did not evade, slowly calmed down, and slowly spoke: "Father, I am Lin Wan'er, the princess Wanxin you proclaimed, the daughter of your courtier Lin Zhihuai, the granddaughter of your courtier Zhao Zhengxiang, and I grew up with you." ”

Zhou Changan's brows relaxed slightly, but he looked at Lin Wan's gaze and became even more puzzled, as if he couldn't see clearly anyway, and he couldn't understand the woman in front of him.

Lin Wan looked at Zhou Changan with sincere eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Father, did Wan'er say something wrong? If Wan'er said something wrong, please don't be angry." Wan'er is shallow, small-minded, speculates, and doesn't choose what to say......"
